Midway reminder at Marvelous Magnolia.

I am sharing with you today my midway inspiration card for Marvelous Magnolias. The theme for this challenge is to add a hint of black.

I have been so looking forward to colouring up this adorable image- Here I am Tilda.

I chose this sentiment stamp from a challenge win and thought it was perfect for this image.

I have used Inktense Pencils to colour the image. I m still not entirely happy with the hair but this was the best of three. It actually looks a lot better in the flesh. I did not use water to blend the hair as on the first attempt it ended up a yucky mess - still need more practice with colouring hair.

The papers are from my stash. I bought a large pack of papers from K & Co years ago when I first started making cards so, rather than keep buying ink and papers I figured I should use some of them.
I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and embossed with white powder.﻿

I added pearls, sparkly beads, lace (which you can't see very well) and flowers from WOC and LLC.

Thank you all for stopping by and for your lovely comments. I am sorry I haven't been around blogging as much as I would like but I need to catch up on my DT obligations and commissions before I go on holiday.

Awww… such an adorable Tilda Sharon!! you've coloured her beautifully to match the pretty papers and embellies! LOVE the fab card shape and the embellishments are absolutely stunning… the pearls around the edge are gorgeous… and the lovely feather and butterfly swirl.. so elegant and pretty!Hope you're having a great evening!Big hugsSue B xx

The adorable Nellie

As you may have noticed my name is not Nellie. Nellie was my parent's Labrador and she meant so much to us all. She is sadly no longer with us but she will never be forgotten. Although she was very clever, she could not make cards - that is down to me.

My name is Sharon and I am married to a wonderful man Russ Who I met at uni in 1999. We have three children between us and 2 cats complete our family. I began making cards about 6 years ago and I love it. When I started crafting I had a three draws and I am now lucky enough, because two of our girls have flown the nest, to have a craft room just for me and my hobby. My passion is for stamping which means I can relive my childhood time and again whilst colouring in my images (thankfully my colouring has improved a lot since school). A big thank you to everyone who visits my blog and any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Sharon.
